 So early this morning or late last night depending on how you want to look at it Nintendo had their financial briefing meeting their update their quarterly report as it were and Things are looking really really good if you are a switch owner or just an have interest in the future of Nintendo switch itself So let's just break into the numbers for starters Nintendo switch sold 4.89 million units this past fiscal quarter That means that lifetime to date the Nintendo switch is at 7.63 million consoles sold and that's through September 30th So there is you know the entire month of October. It's probably well over 8 million at this point And could approach you know with the release of money odyssey nine or ten million before we even get to the primary Sales season of the holidays and of course that's lifetime today not not yearly yearly You're probably looking more at six to seven million before we get to that period Software-wise they sold almost they sold 13.98 million units of software for the switch this past quarter which brings it up to 22 point zero two For the total fiscal year and twenty seven point five eight million In total so if you look at that that's almost a four to one attach ratio of switches sold to software sold Which is pretty decent for the first year And it does not count Any digital sales in terms of that total unless the software has a retail version So if there's a bunch of indie games out there that sold really really really well or like sonic mania That's sold real probably pretty well on switch those sales were not counted because they didn't have a physical version as well I'm not sure why Nintendo did that but they did note that it only counted digital sales for games And also had a physical release so again it the attach rate could be five or six to one We don't we don't know Because maybe Nintendo just doesn't have the numbers for those companies That didn't have physical versions Anyways What's interesting here is that Nintendo has been sticking by that they're predicting 10 million units for this fiscal year Which would put the total at the end of the fiscal year around 13 million counting the launch month Which was last fiscal year well They have updated that forecast now to 14 million units for this year. That's right Nintendo is projecting right now about halfway through their fiscal year that they are going to sell 14 million switches which is more than the Nintendo switch sold in its entire Life and that would mean by the end of this fiscal year the system will have sold between 17 to 18 million Units or almost 20 million units is another way to look at it in just 13 months That is if that's not a great start. I don't know what is Software is projected at 50 million units now When it was originally at 35 million units for this year, so again there with the increase in sales They're also projecting that there will be 15 million more software sold total And if you're wondering how this has impacted Nintendo Their net sales have increased 173.4 percent year-on-year to three point two nine billion dollars Their operating income is at three hundred and fifty one million and their profits for this fiscal year are at 453 million so far it could go even higher than that But needless to say that's a pretty good year for Nintendo now They did make some statements first off Splatoon 2 sold three point six one million units for this past quarter And it says during the six months ended September 30 2017 for Nintendo switch Splatoon 2 released in July in game popularity both in Japan and overseas with three point six one million units So globally by card eight deluxe and arms also both sold Well after their releases in April in June respectively all told the sales volume for the nintendo switch harbor and software during this period came to four point eight nine million units and twenty two point zero two million units They also briefly mentioned some amiibo numbers They don't necessarily mention like specific numbers for the SNES classic But they say in addition the super nintendo entertainment system Classic edition was off to a good start following in September launch And it launched in on October 5th in Japan So that they're not having they don't have any sales for Japan in this data We also may move to expand our amiibo line by launching the new Splatoon series amiibo our amiibo sales were approximately 5.1 million units for figure type and Approximately 2.8 million units for card type this that path. That's just this past fiscal quarter. That is Wow, have you ever doubt the popularity of amiibo still to this day selling over over what almost 8 million combined is crazy And they forecasted obviously that the switch is going to sell 14 million units 72.8% of their net sales came from outside of Japan Which you know us is obviously their primary market the market they make the most money from but Japan's obviously still a big market as are a few other select areas The 3ds for those that are curious what the 3ds. It's sold 1.91 million. So about 1 million less hardware Then the Nintendo switches past quarter and it's sold 2.86 million units total for this year Which would be almost it's about 2 million units less than the switch for this year And has 68.98 million left and to date sales for people who thought it would sell about 69 million You're pretty spot-on It's probably gonna hit 70 million at some point here Maybe even over the holidays with the release of Pokemon Ultra Sun and Ultra moon software sales for the 3ds for this past quarter were 7.97 million or in other words about 6 million less than the switch And they have sold 13.82 million units of software lifetime to date Which is about 9 million or so less than a Nintendo switch for this year But of course the 3ds has been out longer and has a lot more units on the market So it's sold 343.07 million units lifetime to date And if you're curious how their smart device gaming is doing they don't have any specific download numbers or anything But they have said that their smart device and IP related income is a hundred and fifty eight million dollars fiscal year to date and remember that comes from things like me Tomo and What is it? Super Mario Run a little bit from Pokemon Go of course and Fire Emblem heroes and obviously we know that animal crossing is launching later this month in the US It has launched in Australia, but obviously once it really gets to the rest of the world That's when they're really going to see some money coming from that Let me see says a switch harbor shipments worldwide Japan has 1.95 million lifetime to date The Americas which would be North America and South America has seen 3.11 million Shipped so again when you see oh, it's only sold 2 million in the United States from like that MPD report That's just the United States. It doesn't count Canada Necessarily that doesn't count Mexico that doesn't count any of South America So 3.11 million and ever every other part of the world was 2.56 million That was you know, how important the Americas are because that is their leading hardware sales place Switch Harbor shipments worldwide today, you know 25.6 percent of their shipments went to Japan 40.8 percent went to the Americas and 33.6 went everywhere else. They did update sales numbers here Breath of the wild is sold 4.7 million units on switch my cart eight deluxe is sold 4.4 million units So two and two three point six arms 1.35 million units and one two switcher sold 1.37 I won't be surprised to see arms slowly surpass one to switch eventually But it's nice to see arms doing pretty solid could end up at 1.5 to 2 million before all is said and done Nintendo CEO has also said that there will be more ways to have fun with switch Details to be announced next year that could suggest a January Nintendo Direct of some type which would be a surprise. They have momentum. They got to keep it going People don't know what's really happening after December we know that there's games coming. We don't have release dates It would be great if they did an early one and started the early slate of games with that consistent release pace continuing even starting with a release of a Decent game at least whether it's Yoshi or Kirby or something in January. That would be much appreciated Yeah, and apparently while they're not talking about where the The SNES classic itself has sold best. They did note that they have shipped 1.7 million units of the SNES classic as of September 30th It's certainly you can't find it in stores that shipped number is probably really really close to the sold number And we know the MPD report in the United States did state that the SNES classic was the best selling Individual hardware in the US outselling switch PlayStation 4 3ds Xbox one blah blah blah blah so What does this all mean? So I'd say this is probably what most people expected Personally, I'm gonna be very curious about the numbers for October and November because October has Super Mario Odyssey And obviously that's gonna sell well I'm curious how many switch units are actually going to move in the month of October with you know a handful of days of You know Super Mario Odyssey being out you almost have a full week worth of sales for Super Mario Odyssey If not a full week, you know at least no four or five days So I'm actually curious how well that's going to move units Worldwide not just in the United States and then you obviously have November and November I'm curious about because Nintendo themselves doesn't really have a major release in November now Maybe they're gonna drop the breath of the wild DLC pack to in November But again that appeals mostly to people who already own the game more so than those who haven't bought it yet So I don't think that's gonna impact things and obviously while we have you know The holidays black Friday and everything that without a major release around that time for Nintendo They're gonna be relying on you know, obviously Mario and Zelda pushing some units But also third-party games because the month of November is really the month of third-party games for all platforms Including Nintendo with the release of Skyrim, Doom, LoA, Noir Just to name some of them I think there's also one other third-party game and then Nintendo's next big release is actually in December on December 1st And I'll be curious to see if Xenoblade Chronicles 2 which traditionally hasn't meant a console seller can move some units in December or if it doesn't you know increase the amount sold if it can help maintain the amount sold heading into Christmas Of course the availability of the switch will also be an issue if the switch is completely sold out after black Friday weekend That's gonna impact December sales because Nintendo is gonna be trying to restock through all of December like they did all summer so We'll see what ends up happening I'm just gonna kind of leave it at that as video is already running a little long because there was just a lot of data to dig Through maybe I'll make some individual videos on some predictions and some stuff for myself But again 14 million switches protected projected to be moved now this year. I'm pretty happy about that Yeah, good good on you Nintendo things are going very very well and Animal Crossing is assuredly going to be increasing that Ever increasing revenue. It seems you guys get from mobile games even more So yeah, Nintendo's diversifying themselves are making money in multiple ways Which actually I think is gonna help them when they do drop the 3ds eventually because I think their mobile revenue on Phones is eventually going to surpass their revenue from 3ds overall And I think at that point they might be willing to get rid of the 3ds And just focus all their core games on switch and that's how to say like Animal Crossing. I've been playing it on my phone It's good Animal Crossing on the cell phone is good guys. It's really good. I'll probably have a video on that later I'm still working on recording some footage for it to give you guys an example of how all that works Anyways folks, I'm Nathan Rebel Jants from Nintendo Prime and if you like this video You know what to do And if you just like this video hit that dislike button Sources for all of this are down in the description below and as always folks.
